Michaela Leitz-Aslaksen, a size-inclusive fashion expert and the founder of Confidence & Style, loves the V-neck design on this suit, which creates a smooth silhouette while offering perfect coverage. “The underwire provides full support, which is essential for comfort and confidence. Plus, the removable cups add versatility, and it comes in four different colors with a broad range of sizes,” she says.
“Underwires in swimwear give us all the little lift and support we need, especially if the material itself doesn’t have much structure,” says Los Angeles-based celebrity stylist Sarah Nearis. This suit is one of her faves right now.
Nearis is also a fan of this balconette-style one-piece with underwire, which offers a tummy panel for a smoothing effect, adjustable straps and side boning for extra support.
The Miraclesuit Slimming Escape Underwire One-Piece is made with the brand’s Miratex fabric that helps shape and slim your figure, while the underwire provides necessary bust support.

The Sea Level Spliced One-Piece Swimsuit utilizes super-minimal cutouts to show a little tease of skin.
“Christopher Esber has perfected the cutout trend in his clothing so [it’s] no surprise to me that he transferred that over when he started making swimwear,” says Nearis. “The tailoring and cutouts of this swimsuit are chic but sexy and the hardware gives it a modern touch.”
“This stunning flutter-sleeve one-piece has gold tone hardware and stylistic cutout details that is so chic and unique, you won’t believe the compliments you’ll get for a high-quality piece under $40,” says Lopez.
According to Leitz-Aslaksen, animal print is in for 2024. “This captivating swimsuit features an elegant asymmetrical neckline that adds a touch of high fashion to your swimwear collection,” she says.
The lace-up back detail not only looks chic, but it creates the most flattering silhouette. “Designed to offer exceptional tummy control, this piece enhances your natural curves while ensuring you feel confident and empowered,” says Leitz-Aslaksen.
“TA3 Swim is known for its material to shape and sculpt and its products speak for themselves,” says Nearis. “They snatch the waist and enhance your curves.”
This classic one-piece comes with Nearis’ stamp of approval and features adjustable straps, compressive fabric for sculpting and removable cups. Plus, sizes XXL and XXXL have wider and more supportive straps.
“I love the material and design of this suit,” says Nearis. “The fit and cut is so flattering on anyone with curves and the mesh detail give it a little sexy edge.” Not only does the asymmetrical lines and mesh insets provide shaping, but this suit also offers full-bottom coverage.
We tried Summersalt’s The Sidestroke for ourselves, and it’s easily one of our favorite one-piece swimsuits ever. While it might be a bit of a splurge, it is absolutely worth it for full coverage, stylish design and comfortable fit.

Multiple experts can’t get enough of this sleek suit. “You can wear it for a day of surfing or rock it on the beach and rock your inner Bond girl,” says Nearis.

Designed with a built-in power mesh shelf bra, it offers extra bust support, ensuring you feel secure and confident.”
“If you have a short torso, your goal is to select a swimsuit that elongates your frame and you do that by creating long, clean lines,” says Nearis. “Opting for a plunging neckline will create the illusion of a longer torso.”
Between the extreme plunge in the front and high-rise cheeky cut in the back, this ombre suit is sure to stand out. It’s also reversible so you get two looks for one.
“I absolutely love this one-piece with a deep V neckline for shorter torsos,” says Lopez. “The plunging neckline elongates your frame while the crisscross draws the eye to the open back.”
Another Summersalt pick that’s designed like a more traditional one-piece style with diagonal seaming and built-in cups.
“For women with long torsos, swimsuits can be be your best friend,” says Nearis. “You naturally have longer features so many styles are easy and flattering to pull off. I suggest selecting suits that have feminine necklines and enhance your body’s natural curves.”
